Story Behind this Recipe

I love tom yum goong noodles.The same as with khao soi, I tried recreating it using instant ramen.In the original soup, it uses chicken extract with the richness of ginger and garlic. Just using these ingredients I was able to create a restaurant-like flavor.

Helpful Hints

I used more water than is listed on the package, and I used up the soup packet.Adjust the amount of nam pla and lemon juice to your liking.
